Is it correct to beam two notes with a rest between them? For instance, if you have a quaver followed by a quaver rest, then quaver, will it be correct to beam the two quavers? Thank you.

Yes, this is standard notation as it helps keep groups of beats visually connected.
Here are some examples:
Bartók String Quartet #5, Allegro, mm. 1-3
Schumann Op. 68 No. 9, mm. 9-11

It's a good question that may get deleted as it's already been asked and answered here: When to use note beaming over/under rests? One beams across rests when it improves the readibility.
